worth fighting for.

This year has been a big s**t for me, lots of tears, lots of arguments, lots of thinking and less laughters.

It got me thinking that God has sent his "angels" to ensure that I will always be happy and cherish every moment. Here is the short list of my angels.

Mom and Pap
I love them every minute of my life. Listening to their calm tone when I'm down is my magic drugs.

J.T
this may s ound corny and cheesy but your patience has melted me down. I found you as a mature and great man, I would never regret that I know you, deeply.

Miss Josephine
I always love your childish tone. It always cheers me up.

Audrey and Andita
Even thou our schedules sucks, our rooms are only 2 foot steps away .Uhm, we are not housemates, we are sisters.

Adi, Eve and Mandy
The crazy guys from Lawson street. You never fail to make me laugh. I always have a thought that some genes are missing from your brain, guys. YouW RocK MOi LiFe fWenS ! -hahahaha hate me now-

ICYO people
we are people full of intrics, but at the end of the day I know we just love each other as good friends. Making me busy all the time but i have to admit, I love it somehow.

warning: this is the corniest part. don't read it if you can't handle this.

They might not be the greatest people in the world but they are my greatest people. They are my "people" , they are the ones whom I'll spend hours on the couch, having non-sense conversation, they are my comfort zone.

this year, I ....

1. Finished my uni life on June.
2. Got my bachelor degree on October.
3. Got my bridging visa on July
4. Got my internship (with Curtin) on February.
5. Went to Sydney twice, in a year, oh well I'm sick of Sydney.
6. got super duper stressed all the whole year.
7. Still have no idea what am I gonna do for the future, at all.
8. realized that working, literally working, is not fun, at all.
9. decided to get married at 25, due to the fact that working is not fun. hahaha. i do not either whether i'm joking or not. (at first, I wanted to get married at least when i'm 27)
10. am 21 years old.
11. do not go back home, not even once. I am proud of myself.
12. celebrated Christmas day without my family for the first time. I am proud, wendy, so proud of myself.

-i'll keep updating this post if something comes up to my mind-

from my perspective

I still do not know how people, esp random ones , can JUDGE me just by reading my blog or hearing about my stories or maybe seeing what I've done and where I come from. Just for your information, and I tag everyone, I do not tell and share everything to everyone I know, even my closest person, my bestest friends or my parents. I do exactly know what needs to be shared and not to be shared.

People can easily judge other people without knowing the story behind his/her behaviour.
I am a human too, I do that *slapping myself* but I always do it after my zillion thoughts *slapping myself harder*
but think of me as a victim ! Did you want to be judged by let's say for example your once and only stupid action, perhaps you were broken hearted and your brain were left at your fridge and no one knew about it? hummph, life is hard man.

I hate people judging me, you have no right doing it.

oops, I have a sense some people reading this post are "thinking" that I'm a difficult person. see? admit it.

have a wonderful Christmas !

This is definitely one of my perfect Christmas days.

Merry Christmas everyone !
may this happy day bring you happiness and joy for you and your family :)

but i have to admit that deep down in my heart I still want my mom's hugs.

an instant noodle and an egg for my christmas dinner

Hey! It's my first time celebrating Christmas without mommy and daddy and I'm doing well.

Oh well, I missed the best part of pre-Christmas at my home, opening all the parcels and tasting all the cakes and ice creams that actually were sent to my dad. I missed my parish mass, where my sis usually plays her violin. I missed my mom's cook. I missed my big family gathering. I didn't get my intangible Christmas present. but yeah, I am proudly say that I'm fine here.

I had an instant noodle and an egg for my dinner before going to the Indonesian mass at 19.30 at St Brigid's parish. and I'm not complaining at all 'cause those were my comfort food. I had a crazy stupid car bumping to my car on my way to the church ! but my car has no scratches at all. Thank God. The mass went smooth. Our choir sang loudly. The mass ended then the next thing I remember was shaking everyone's hand on the church, wishing them having a happy Christmas.

Me and my friends had supper at Saigon restaurant *considering we were at Northbridge at that time and had no other choice than Chinese food or Vietnamese*. We had bubble tea ( which made my Christmas so perfect. Bubble tea after the Xmas mass? great !). We threw some stupid jokes while eating. We laughed. We were happy.

Simple and bonding. We are having our small family here. Thank God for the community.

Having another Indonesian mass tomorrow at St Benedict 11.30 am. as usual. We'll be singing again. BBQ afterwards.

PS: Right now I'm listening to the St Joachim's ( Perth's pro Cathedral which is located next to my house) choir singing Xmas songs. It's just terrific. As if I hired a choir to sing while I was sleeping.

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas day as I have. May this Christmas brings you joy and happines always.

Ga penting sih ini post dan fotonya. Lagi ga ada kerjaan aja, sambil mo pamer barang baru dan dvd yg kita nonton tadi siang Bride and Prejudice dan jadinya kita nyanyi2 dan joget2 india deh seharian hahaha.

I just bought a Christmas gift for myself. I know no one would buy me one, but that's ok. It's a hair dryer and straightener gift pack from Remington and I bought it from Coles with their special price ( but still it's quite expensive for an unemployed ex overseas student like me)

- inhale exhale -

Trying to convince myself this would still be a great Christmas season like usual thou without mom and dad. Actually I just want God to show His way as my Christmas gift and it would be my greatest Christmas gift.

life is hard

It always happens like this.

People are away when I need attention. when I need to be noticed.
People are around when I need to be alone. when I need my little own time.

Life is F*CKING SH*T !

My less than $2 lunch

I've been craving for a full breakfast since, like, ages ago but due to the - uh so no no- price, I just never had it before. Well, yesterday I tried to make one for my lunch and it really really tasted good and it only cost me less than $2 [ you have to pay at least $10 to get one in the restaurant]

[there should be toasts and baked beans but yeah I didnt have any bread or baked beans, just leave it like that]

meleleh

Gara2 kemaren bela2in makan San Churro di freo ama si Mendi tuh kulit muka smp kebakar perih bener trus hari ini rencananya males keluar2 ntar takut malah kenapa2 soalnya hari ini 38 derajat !

Udah tuh hari ini cuman ke gereja St Joachim sblh rumah persis, pas keluar gereja buset ky masuk oven panasnya (udah berasa seneng ga jadi ke Benedict ntar malah gosong gara2 nyetir). Eh siang2 gitu Jon telp ngajakin ke city sama anak2 ICYO. bah. udah janji mo nemenin dia lunch yaudah ke city lah. yang sungguh sangad panas bukan maen udah kaya dendeng manusia jalan2 di city.

HAri2 dingin yang menyenangkan udah mulai hilang. hiks. ga tau mo ngapaen lagi. ga suka panas. tidur ga bisa, buang2 aer tiap 2 jam mandi terus. parah.

things in my mind

1. Sebel

Kemarin ada plumber dateng benerin smua tap di rumah ini. As usual, dia masuk rumah pake spatu boot gedenya yg penuh lumpur trus naek2 ke kamar mandi *yang putih bersih suci itu* dan kotorlah kamar mandi, karpetku, dapurku.
Sambil ngomel kmrn ngosek kamar mandi.

Eh hari ini, dateng lagi electrician yg mo masak fan di kamar mandi *lagi lagi yg sudah suci lagi itu* kotor lagi. Karpet n lantai jadi kotor ga karuan smp mo marah liatnya. Dengan sangat terpaksa tadi sekalian bersiin shower curtain juga. Kamar mandiku jadi bersih putih suci indah kembali.

Barusan dapet telpon dari orang yg mo benerin tembok yg nglupas catnya di kamar mandi *LAGI !*
mau nangis rasanya.

2. Mbabu.
Oh ya, karpet juga aku vacuum semua. Seminggu ini aku udah vacuum karpet rumah 2x. selain itu, vacuum cleanerku udah agak lama bermasalah gitu trus kmrn aku *jauh jauh* ke good guys *yg cannington masi lurus lagi itu* eh sampe sana ternyata masalahnya cuman filternya kotor mesti di cuci.

Ya udah abis vacuum rumah tadi, buka vacuum cleaner di dpn rumah nih biar debunya ga masuk2 donk. Eh khan aku ambil posisi jongkok *yg super duper najong* itu smbl ngluarin debu2 di vacuum cleaner, trus tetangga depan yg cing cong itu keluar sambil bengong 2 detik liat posisi najong saya. dan saya pun udah kebal diliatin ky gitu.
back to vacuum, debunya emang ga karuan dan semua filter harus dicuci gitu. Parah. Di sink belakang udah ky kolam kobokan pasir gitu item2 smua hiiyyyy.

3. Super duper sebel.

Kenapa semua nyari yang udah experienced. Woiiii gimana cara fresh graduate dapet kerja kalo gitu??

4. Confused.

Mau ambil marketing, orang bakal bilang ngapaen. mau ambil IB, orang bilang mau ngapaen kalo lulus. mau ambil hairdresser, orang cuman liat sambil mikir jauh2 kok ambil itu. mau kawin aja bisa ditabok tabok ma nyokap. hehehe.

Let's face the reality. Harusnya ga usah dengerin orang2 kaya gitu, but we live in that situation. I've been there where people underestimated me. It's just not nice.

current alter ego

is a 2 year old baby.

*lagi nangis*

" huuuuwaaaa aku benci semuanya, ga mau ketemu siapa siapa lagi. Benci benci"

"huwaaaaa"

"Cuman mau mamah, huuuu mama ga ada huuuu"

"mau panda mau panda, tapi ga ada -huwaaaaaa-"

"mau peluk huey sama bear, huey sama bearnya kotor belum dicuci -huwaaaaa-"

"huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu"

nangis dipojokin ranjang sambil ngemut jempol tangan sampe tidur.

i.have.no.idea.nor.have.any.clues.at.all.

I'm haunted by this book. Should I or should I not?
I'm surprised how I did manage not to scream for the whole day for being almost crazy for only choosing a major.

and I have not made any decisions yet.

Hey ho,a pisces person is always on the grey area. Don't blame me. Blame my feng shui or whatever it is. haha.

Ah, can I repeat my kindergarten, please?

Immaculate Conception

Hari ini adlh perayaan Santa Maria yang Dikandung Tanpa Dosa (Immaculate Conception). It all started on the 1830 ketika Bunda Maria menampakan diri kpd Santa Katarina Laboure (yang jenasahnya smp sekarang masi segar n utuh) dan meminta agar membuat medali yg bertuliskan " O Maria yang dikandung tanpa dosa, doakanlah kami yg berlindung kepadamu" dan dogma Yang Dikandung Tanpa Dosa dihormati. Siapa saja yang mengenakan medali tersebut akan mendapat rahmat dari Yesus melalui doa-doa Ibu-Nya. Then, tahun 1854, Paus Pius *lupa yg ke berapa* akhirnya mengkukuhkan dogma tersebut setelah "rapat dan voting" dgn para Kardinal di seluruh dunia. Tahun 1858, Bunda Maria menampakan diri kpd Bernadette ( yang jenasahnya juga masi segar dan utuh) di Lourdes dan mengatakan " Akulah yang dikandung tanpa dosa" dan that was the beginning of the Lourdes' greatest holy water and it really has holy power.

It's just unbelieve, at least for me, knowing that many of the non-Catholic people are against the existence of Saint Mary and many of them are also denying that Saint Mary is one of the holy people. How come a pastor (non Catholic) ever said that Mary was actually a slut?? Oh come on, She is Jesus's mom, He wouldn't find that kind of person to be His Mom. Or, let's just imagine how Jesus will be hurt, having His beloved mum being treated like that. Kay, use our common sense we all are being taught to be respectful with our mum, you should be ashamed if you're not being respectful to Jesus's mum.

Let's have a look on Luke 1:26-35

Now in the sixth month the angel Grabiel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth. To a virgin bertrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. HAving come in, the angel said to her," Rejoice, highly favoured one, the Lord is with you; BLESSED ARE YOU AMONG WOMEN!" but when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. Then the angel said to her ," Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His Father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of His kingdom there will be no end. Then Mary said to the angel," How can this be, since I do not know a man?. And the angel answered and said to her ," THE HOLY SPIRIT will come upon you and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

Hey, I'm not saying that Catholics worship Saint Mary. We never worship Mary on the altar, not on the mass. We have special prayers and devotion to Mary but not on the altar, not even once. Have you ever seen us, Catholics; put any of Mary's statue or anything on the altar? nah, never. Just be respectful to our Mum, kk?

the worst movie ever: QUARANTINE.

Last night, we (me and Jon) had just watched the worst movie ever and I warn you all not to ever watch QUARANTINE. EVER. We fought the night before, choosing which movie to be watched. I wanted either Australia or 007 (again) and he chose Quarantine and since he doesn't like any dramas but he also doesn't want (to watch) 007 so QUARANTINE is the one. I DID lose and he DID win. I didn't want to watch any horror movie, I'm a loser, I'm a chick. so, we fought again about this movie. hahaha. but he's still a winner. okay, let's watch this movie.

It turned the movie was digusting, super yuck, didn't make sense and made me dizzy. Jon also shook his body for the entire movie, he was also scared. huahuahauhaua. I kept telling him that he's not allowed to choose any movie again. never. I remember a guy talking to his friends at the end of the movie, " I'm not gonna watch this kind of movie again, EVER, this movie sucks"

Well, on the way back home. I forced him to a DVD rental to rent a stupid comedy movie to make my day better. At least that horrible movie wouldn't be stuck on my head.

Now I DO win and he DOES lose. I'm the one who'll choose the movie. See, who's being punished? hihihihihihi

clues

Okay, here are your clues.

I reeeaaaallllyyyyy want to go to:

1. a Beach. summer is coming. ritey?
2. Gardens. millpoint, southperth,kingspark, queens garden, freo. whatever. as long as it's called a garden, i will accept it.
3. Mundaring Pizza. I want it from the deepest of my heart. I really do.
4. Leederville. I want to go to cool places.

I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

tantrums

There were lots of ups and downs in my life, lots of dramas. But, this is the time that all I want to do is to cuddle under my mom's arms. Suddenly, I feel like a 2 year old baby. I'll have my very own tantrums if something doesn't go well with my plans. This is bad, worse than ever. I need much much extra care, I'll get my way to be noticed. and this is not me. Hopefully it'd be gone by next week. I feel bad to Jon, as long as mum's not here, he took all my tantrums. huh, it's not easy loving me.

Ah, all I want for Christmas is mum. and her cook.

blank

I just got too many choices and not even a decision has been made.
Having too many choices is not always a good thing, apparently.

I still love my old and boring Perth though

Even though I love Melbourne and its food but I love Perth more. hahahaha. no idea why. I always love and hate Perth
at the same time but I'm always homesick to Perth.

The two things I love about Melbourne was my old friends and the cafes.

hahaha sungguh blog yang ansos.

blah.blah.

Tahun ini Wendy udah buat janji sama diri sendiri. Janji tahan engga pulang ke indo sampe TR keluar. Sekarang udah hampir setaun sih ga pulang, 3 January 2009 nanti bakal setaun ga pulang. Ini waktu terlama aku ga pulang indo. Lumayan bisa tahan sih sampe sekarang tapi klo disuruh kaya 2 thn ga pulang rasa-rasanya sangat ga mungkin deh. Kalo TR udah keluar sih mungkin pas bulan2 pesawat murah mau pulang aja, 2 minggu gitu juga ga papa.

Tadi pagi anterin adeknya Odri ke erport, liat banyak student n orang2 yg aku kenal pada mudik juga. Jujur sih dalem ati kecil pengen banget balik indo. Ga harus sekarang sih, Febuari-an gitu juga boleh sih. Gimana ya no matter what Indonesia tetep my home country, I have my own sentimental values sama Surabaya apalagi rumah. No matter how bad my home country is, no matter how such a mess Indonesia is, no matter how I hate the air,the people and the situation; I will always love it, deep down in my heart.

Ah, let me go home.

I welcomed you, summer :(

The very first thing you will notice when it's summer is your day will be so long, the sun will shine brightly at your room at 5am and your day will be dark at *the soonest* 8.30pm. Somehow, I don't like it, the first few weeks you will definitely feel very strange having your dinner while the sun is still up. It's just strange. I'm so hungry rite now and guess what I still don't feel like having dinner because the sun still shines out there. Weirdo me.

sabtu ini

Saya dan Jojon merantau ke jepang. hahahaha. hush. engga lah. Kita ke opening toko Japon (yang dulu di Subiaco), sekarang pindah ke North Freo, deketnya post office jojon, deket banget. Sampe disana ya muter2 biasalah, si Jon terkagum2 dan bangga sama Jepang2an gitu sambil megang2 tiap barang yang ada. Wendy? serem liat barang antik2 gitu mana byk patung2 gitu hiiiy. Karna hari ini openingnya, disediain gitu sake, Asahi beer, sushi, wine, champagne jadi ya lumayan menarik lah hahahaha. Yang bisa aku komen-in: Asahi beer? biasa aja enakan Heineken malah. Sake? hueeek kaya minum aer rebusan nasi yang udah basi. sumpah.

Perjalanan dilanjutkan dgn makan siang di Flip Side, di satu jalan juga di North Freo kalo ga salah di Stirling hwy. Ini cafe? restaurant? depot? cuman jualan burger sapi dan ayam dan vegie tok. Lumayan lucu sih cafe ini konsepnya, bener2 minimalist bule gitu dan lumayan rame lho, bule semua sih yg makan. Price rangenya: $9-$13 gitu dan kids sizenya $6.5. Kita sih perut Asia, cuman bisa makan kids size doank itu aja aku cuman makan 3/4 sisanya ke jojon hahahaha. Oh ya, disini yang mantep sih thick cut chipsnya. Enak bangeeeed trus bisa milih dippingsnya gitu. Trus hebatnya lagi, tadi chipsnya sisa trus di take away gitu dan setelah beberapa jam masi crunchy dan enak. chips yang hebat.



Abis itu kita ke Claremont, cuman liat2 aja secara disitu semua harga ga terjangkau buat kasta kita. Pas baru sampe disana hujan deres lebat dingin ampun. Jadi pas kita liat ada kayak gang gitu, kita masukin aja buat berteduh. Di dalemnya gang itu banyak toko2 lucu gitu, salah satunya itu foto diatas. Toko ini jual barang2 super duper lucu tapi ya itu sayang harganya lumayan mahal2 *ukuran kita* kayak sempet spent waktu lamaaa banget, satu2 dipegan2 dan diliatin ga mau di lepas hahaha tapi ya sudah apa boleh buat, dana tak terkecukupi. Di Claremont, bener2 cuman masuk satu toko, keluar lagi. Si jon sih cuman bisa bilang gini, " Ngapaen sih masuk Mimco lagi, percuma ga beli apa2 diliat doank, ngomel2 harga mahal tapi pengen trus udah keluar" hauhuahuahauahuahhahauhauha. Tapi situ suka khaaan pura2 bilang, " Woow, this is so cheap only $450, buy some now !" hahahahaha. Abis ujannya reda dan panas lagi, kita pulanglah. Tapi sempet mampir bentar sih ke Cottesloe Center yang sumpah isinya cuman woolies dan Harvey Norman dan beberapa toko kecil *kok bisa sih di sebut Centre, dr depan sih menipu*.

Heheehehehehehe

Entah kenapa pikiranku dipenuhi oleh tindakan tindakan radikal akhir2 ini.

Yang barusan terjadi adalah membeli tiket return ke MELBOURNE sodara2. Ini benar2 dipikirin less than 12 hours.
Emang sih pengen banget liburan gitu, tapi kemana??

Engga Boleh KELUAR NEGERI sama regulations bridging visa. Ya udah harus domestic donk.
Sydney? Kayaknya udah eneg, masak 3x setaun kesana mana yg trakir hampir sebulan tinggal disono.
Melbourne? Pilihan paling tepat, tapi ya ituu kapan hayo. Setelah dipikir2 ya, kalo desember udah sangat pasti ga bisa karna kerja full. Januari rada ga enak ambil libur, khan baru dipindahin ke department baru.

Ya udah sekarang aja lho. mumpung belom byk kerjaan dan tiket murah. hahaha dangkal ga sih?

Eniweiiii ya begitu tuh. hehehehehehe.

Melbourne here I come, Lippe belahan jiwa here I come.

a thank you letter

Credits to someone who has brought me back to my old memories.

See, I'm smiling :)

The jokes and the bullies are still the same. I'm happy for that.
Thank you for bullying me and making me laugh.
You almost made my day :)
Almost. aha. Im bullying you :P

You can be my Santa Claus

Just like every other children waiting to get Xmas presents from Santa Claus, so does Wendy ! She wants all of these, yes please all of these cute little things :)

*wink wink ke mama, khan udah ga pulang lho ntar Natal sendirian, sepi ky gurun di Perth ini :( *

I just did my first radical movement

and I was not shocked. I felt so relieved, indeed. The idea just came in seconds before I decided to do it, nah, I didn't even think about it twice. My mood has been swinging this whole day. Well, to start with, I had a bad one this morning and when I got the news, I had bright and smiling mood for the whole noon. But then, this radical thinking made me feel being trapped and yeah, I told that person about it. I might have been an arrogant young lady, insisting that person to do what I wanted to. I felt awful though, keeping that person wandering around getting what I wanted but what else could I do?

Sitting quietly in my desk and getting trapped for like, a year? Nah, this is my turn now. I told people what I wanted to be, not their opinions influencing my decisions. I can be on my feet, I don't need yours. Thank you for that, btw.
Thank God I have the best parents, they support me 100%, they believe in me.

I might have done my second radical movement in less than 3 months. In December probably. Nah, I won't do any harmful activities, it's just something that I haven't thought about it but I think I need it now.

Thank God for leading me this way. It's just, I know it's You who did it.

Ok lah kalo begichuuu

Sore ini lumayan ketawa ketiwi bareng dita. Dari gosip di sofa sampe gosip di kamar mandi bareng *yak emang bener kita buka2an pintu kamar mandi kalo di rumah hahahaha*.

Pas lagi baca blog random orang yah, ada postingan yang di tulis dalam basa inggris yg kaco. I mean bener2 kaco. Dan mnrt research kita berdua, itu blog mayan banyak lho yg baca. hahahahahaha. no offence ya tapi itu bener2 lucu banget kalo dibaca. Kita juga ga kepinteran nulis inggris tapi itu pwarwah. Dia lagi nulis ttg patah hati jd malah jadi lucu gitu, malah sempet kita parodi'in dalem bentuk opera ala harper. sumpah lucu abis.

because you killed my love again and again and again i bore with your unbearable pain that tried me. forgive is to be divine i'm not a God and i cannot forgive i am not human. nothing is not able to be killed.

gimana, lucu khan?

Trus lanjut lagi ketawa ketiwinya pas di tunjukin sama dita ttg video di utube yg lagunya berjudul Ok lah kalau begitu. Sumpah itu juga lucu banged dan bener2 corny dan cheesy dan bener2 beraksen Tegal. Seperti biasa tuh si Dia kalo lg nyantol sama satu lagu bakal di nyanyiin sebulan kali. Tapi ini dia nyantol itu lagu, tiap menit dia bisa nyanyi OK LAH KALO BEG BEG BEGITU ... gitu terus deh, tanya apa dijawab pake lagu itu. ga tau harus stres ato ketawa

when your office is exactly next to GM 's office and you will be by yourself on your fourth day working, answering all the inquiries which you have no idea at all and people might be thinking how can be this company hired a stupid person like me; you will feel like a big fat dump who can't speak English properly and has never been to school.

Wendy sedang:

1. Sangat berharap sesuatu yang sangat baik akan datang

2. Memohon di-doa-in supaya sesuatu yang baik akan datang

3. Ingin loncat ke minggu depan

4. berpikir bgm cara menghilangkan orang yang menyebalkan

5. berpikir untuk beli sepatu dan tas nine west

6. dilema mau beli sepatu dan tas ato beli rok di cotton on *yak jauh bener ya*

7. bener2 dilema

8. berpikir nanti aja di jawab minggu depan. semua jawaban ada di minggu depan.

9. berpikir that I always have a thing for Freo. I always do

So, what had happened last week?

Nath and Andrew's wedding reception

I did my own hair !! huahahahaha most people asked where did i do my hair and I proudly presented my messy hair style

Today's holy matrimony

Today is the D-day for Nath and Andrew's wedding. The location was St Brigid church, Northbridge but due to my my-stupidness- I forgot to bring my camera !!!!!. It is a beautiful day, it's a bit cloudy so it's not really hot and wind still blew. I'll tell ya later about the reception tonite... I need to take a nap first that's my secret recipe for being fresh beautiful and wonderful all the day wakakakkakakakka *evil laugh*

Credit to Andita who made this madness bun, hahahaha finally, I got an event to make this madness bun !

*the uniform that we, choir people, had to wear*

Overall, Congratulations to Nathalie and Andrew !!!! My prayer is always be with you ...

PeeR dari Adi

banyak banget yah peer peer ini.

Yang ini mesti apalin suatu lagu. judulnya masih rahasia. tapi langsung saja ke liriknya

*kecil2 kok di, mesti merem2 kalo baca. bukan mw bocorin tapi biar cepet apal mesti aku ketik lagian biar2 sok sok misterius gitu dibikin di blog padahal no point juga ahhaha*

I've heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord
but you don't really care for me, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift,
the baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain though I don't even know the name
but if I did well really what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word,
It doesn't matter what you heard, the holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

I did my best it wasn't much,
I couldn't feel so I tried to touch
I've told the truth I didn't come to fool you
and even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
with nothing on my tounge but Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah


yaak ada yg ngerti lagu apa ?

PeeR dari Dita

1. Nama :
Wendy Shinta Lumanau. Orang sering kira kalo aku dr Manado, abisan family namenya gitu sih. Tapi SUMPAH ga ada darah manado sama sekali aku ini. Nama itu sih dateng dr jaman jebot katanya nama cina di-indo-in jd gitu, hehehehe tp rasanya ga nyambung deh.

2. Ngeblog :
Dari kecil udah suka nulis sih, pas esde sampe smp sih punya diary gitu. Pas SMA mulai ngenal friendster jadi pindah ke blog trus udah lama seh pengen pindah ke blogspot gitu tapi males bgt pindahinnya tapi bulan april kmrn resmi pindah ke blogspot deee.

3. Kesibukan :
80% buat ICYO akhir2 ini yaaa. tiap malem urusan ICYO sampe bosen ketemu muka itu2 aja. tapi mulai minggu dpn udah mulai berkurang kok (cuti dulu yeee). Skrg lagi kerja casual di Croissant Express tapi bsk hari trakir, karna satu hal dan yang lainnya, nanti mulai tgl 5 november saya mudah2an sudah bekerja di tmpt yg baru. tunggu saja kabar baik dari saya.

4. Penggemar dari:
BAGs and Shoes and bubble tea.

5. Cita cita:
Jadi ibu rumah tangga yang disayang suami dan anak anak. eeeehhh ibu rumah tangga itu pekerjaan paling mulia lho, harus pake hati dan kasih sayang lho ngejalaninnya, volunteer lagi ga pake bayaran, 24/7 lagi kerjaannya ga pake libur dan cuti dan pensiun.

6. Selain ngeblog :
tidur. udah deh paling enak itu. hahahaha

7 Kelakuan:
tukang ngayal, paling demen kalo disuru yang satu ini. Kalo udah maunya ini, ya harus dilakuin si ini. kalo engga bakal bete deh terus2an. Suka ga gampang ngelupain salah orang, apalagi kalo dah sebel, jahat semua deh yang keluar dr mulut dan pikiran. ampuni saya Tuhan.....

8 . Other :
apa ya?? I take attention to details. I really do. and I am an organised person. I hate lateness and delays.

9 Keberuntungan :
I have my Lord, my lovely family, my chubby bf and friends.

10 Masa depan blog :
I write to memorise what I have done and what I haven't done. Hopefully, this diary will remind me to my happy days and will cheer me up when I miss my past

closer look

I laugh million times every time I see it.

Photos updates from Rosary prayer at Chittering and not forgeting the yummiest roast pork !

You'll see my anger face if . . . .

1. Ngadepin orang yang OMDO alias OmongDoang! NATO! no action talk only. Ada deh orang yang kerjaanya komplen mulu, dikit2 ngomel, dikit2 komplen yang ini lah yang itu lah tapi cuman komplen doang! ga ada actionnya, ya udah sampe mati lu juga bakal komplen mulu ga bakal bisa maju dodol ! Bisanya cuman koar2 sampe gaung ke segala penjuru tapi cuman bisa itu, kasian sih. *semoga orang itu baca postingan ini*

2. Ngadepin orang yang lemot dan dungdung parah. bukannya aku ga pernah dung dung dan lemot ya, tapi ini selalu gitu. Ampun2 dungdungnya, kayak pas kecil kurang di kasi vitamin apa gitu gedenya jadi dungdung gitu, kayak orang dr pedalaman gitu yang ga tau apa2 semua semua ga tau, jadi bingung apa gitu yg di-tau-in.

3. Ngadepin orang yang sok tau. Udah sok tau, pake salah lagi. Mau taruh dimana muka itu. Bikin orang sebel aja, udah gitu salah2in orang lagi.

4. Ngadepin orang yang sinis bin galak. Woi sadar woi ! cepet mati aje lu !

5. Ngadepin orang yg ga organised. No comment. what you do reflects who you are.

You wouldn't be worry if you had money

But that wasn't ME ! This saturday's wedding made me totally BROKE. That dress and the shoes and the clucth made me litterally broke and I haven't bought any accessories since I don't have any that would match my dress +.+ I'll just stay at home this week =.="

Photos for today

my chubby boy and me - driving up to Chittering

sleeping is like golden moments for me these days
*aayy i've just changed to my summer blanket sigh =.=" and pardon me for the childish sheet*

Good nite everyone

Yummy !

This is the yummiest fresh roast pork ever! If you live in WA, it's worth it to drive up to Chittering to try this. After not eating for a day yesterday *it was the adrenaline, i'm not in diet* ; this roast pork seemed like a 24 carat diamond for me. It was crunchy yet melted on the mouth and nothing more I could tell but YUM !!!!!

counting down the days and other random things

18 days to see my parents! yaaay, i miss them sampe njedoooooook.
20 days to see yosi ! oh baby baby bawain aku abon babi yang banyak yaaa sekilo juga boleh dan juga jangan lupa hazelnut choc croissant dan juga baju2 SES yaa dan juga spatu2 lucu dari sana dan juga starbucksnya sedih lho disini ga punya starbucks. hahahahaha. oh ya kalo nemu keset kepala POOH ato doraemon juga boleh dan juga gulingnya pooh itu juga mau saya hahahahaha.

I'm on my super duper bitsy itsy busy. PAgi siang malem, Wendy is on her active mood. Tired? sure! *crying inside, my body's screaming to me asking to sleep*

What else?
ehmm, this one is so random. When I goss with mum, I feel a lot better than before. I have no idea why maybe it's the mum-daughter connection, sometimes she's the only one who's able to "know what's going on with me" better than anyone. It scares me enough, but even when I say "hello" on the phone, she knows my mood at that time. an exact one. that really scares me.

Another random one.

In these 2 weeks, I've been working like hell. I started at 6.30 and finished at 16.30, not everyday thou but yeah similar hours and since I'm working on the counter now, I'm doing all the coffee orders and it did affect on my mind *scarily*. Did you know today when I smelled the coffee aroma I ALWAYS thought that was the aroma of HOKKIEN NOODLE. I even wanted to lick the coffee spill as I licked the hokkien noodle. That's the craziest thought ever. I worked for 8,5 hours today and within that time, you know what i was thinking. I can even eat 2 portion of HOKKIEN noodle now. slrrrrp. yum yum. hokkieeennn.... come to mama ....

5 years ago

I still remember sitting in front of your coffin.
Sadness, that was the only thing I could feel.
Praying silently to God, asking why did He take you away from me.
I needed you, a lot.
You were a mean teacher, a caring grand father, a funny friend.
You taught lots of things and now I know why one of your students gave you "the best teacher" award.
I remember arguing with you, that you were not, you were a mean one.
I still remember every single bits of your story.
You built up every emotions in your story, you kept it simple but meaningful.
I know you for only 16 years, but you will be in my heart forever.
and I thank God you are a great one.

take a good care up there, grandpap and say hi to Joanna and grandma.

love,
Wendy

Making coffee every single day and I'm so sick of coffee now. I'm still looking for a proper job thou, so please please if any of you you you knows anything about PR/Event job, please let me know.

There are so many things in my mind 'till I don't know how to write those down. Well, I promise you I'll keep updating this blog and stop neglecting it. hehehehehhe.

Wendy

Have you ever said thank you?

Did you ever say thank you for the blessings you got?

I found it easier for me to start my day if I say thank you and please bless my day in my morning prayer and it does really work for me. The blessings you got for a day is uncountable, if you ever realised.

I thank God for the proper food I eat everyday, for the clean water I drink, for my working hours, for the access of internet, for the bed I sleep in, for the water I use to bath, for the clean clothes, for the shoes I wear, for the all the gadgets I have.

Now, have you ever realised that you are actually richer than you ever thought? You will always poor if you never realised what you got, if you always complain to God.

This simple thank you has changed my life lately, hopefully it would change yours. Start saying thank you every morning and you will have a brighter day.

something's on my mind

Am I demanding too much?
Someone obviously dissapointed me
Am I sacrificing too much?
Am I?
Am I?
Tell me when to stop then.
Am I sacrificing too much?
Am I sacrificing too much?
Am I sacrificing too much?
It never stops echoing

breaking my own record

For the sake of extra money peeps, I worked for 10 hours today. I started at 6 am (which meant I woke up at 4.45) and finished at 4 pm. No fun at all, please don't ever try that at your workplace. I even did the cleaning for 4 hours, from 12pm-4pm. Well, I'd been transfered from AXA to QV1 to Howard st, I did the opening at QV1 and did the closing at Howard Street. Howard street is a small store, not even 1/4 of AXA store but OMG the dirt was much doubled than AXA. I'd never seen anything dirtier than the mop I used ( I swear I washed it with fat and grease remover for hundred times and with very hot water but still it didn't help at all). I spent 2 hours to mop and scrub all the floor !

Mboh wes mboh, badan ga ada rasa wesan ini. Sampe rumah jam 5.15 trus siapin dinner dan akhirnya dinner juga jam stg 6 sampe jam 6. Dilanjutkan dengan mandi stg jam lalu siap2 dan berangkat lagi ke choir, untung choir di rumah Vita. Seperti biasa juga sindrom capek saya, udah ngantuk 5 watt dan badan udah rontok malah ga bisa tidur.
Besok kerja jam 6 pagi lagi *menangis* semoga ga sampe jam 3 (yg brarti ngepel toko lagiiiiii).

iRobot

Since the first day I started working with Croissant Express, I've become a robot. Everyday I have to wake up appx. at 5-6 am because the stores opens at 6.30am every morning and sometimes I get 6am shift or 7am shift, 8am shift is a miracle for me. To be honest, I'm not a real morning person, I prefer to stay sleeping until 9-10am (thou it's still considered as morning) so when I get home after work I'll be asleep until whatever time it is and then have my dinner and then sleep again. Plus, my job is not an office job, it is really really hard, cleaning and cleaning and cleaning and scrubing all over again. I'm exhausted ! that's why everytime I get home all I wanna do is to sleep !

Unfortunately,

on monday and wednesday, I have a choir practice. So, I have to wake up at 6.30 pm to get ready and have dinner and then ciao to choir practice.
On tuesday, I also have a retreat meeting so I just couldn't sleep at all this time because I have to get ready by 6pm.

Well, the point is if you don't see me at work or at church that means I'm sleeping. hauahuaha. I'm a robot.

daily routine: wake up early, work, get home, take a shower, take a nap, have dinner, check emails, sleep.

and I've been doing it for like ehm 3 weeks straight.

Yum, I need to socialise again. I miss ya pals !

semoga ada kasih di antara kita

1 Korintus 13: 1-3, 13

Sekalipun aku dapat berkata-kata dengan semua bahasa manusia dan bahasa malaikat, tetapi jika aku tidak mempunyai kasih, aku sama dengan gong yang berkumandang dan canang yang gemerincing. Sekalipun aku mempunyai karunia untuk bernubuat dan aku mengetahui segala rahasia dan memiliki seluruh pengetahuan; dan sekalipun aku memiliki iman yang sempurna untuk memindahkan gunung, tetapi jika aku tidak mempunyai kasih, aku sama sekali tidak berguna. Dan sekalipun aku membagi-bagikan segala sesuatu yang ada padaku, bahkan menyerahkan tubuhku untuk dibakar, tetapi jika aku tidak mempunyai kasih, sedikitpun tidak ada faedahnya bagiku.

Demikianlah tinggal ketiga hal ini, yaitu iman, pengharapan dan kasih, dan yang paling besar di antaranya adalah kasih.

1 Corinthians 13: 1-3, 13

Though I speak with the tounges of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the ppor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greates of these is love.
